Next determine the wavelength. Consider an ocean wave with a wavelength of 3 meters and a frequency of 1 hertz. On the other hand if the crest of an ocean wave moves a distance of 25 meters in 10 seconds the same amount of time then the speed of this ocean wave is 25 ms.
V 4 m s.
Lambda equals 2 start text m end text. Use the correct units. How fast a local max or min shifts along. Period of waveis the time it takes the wave to go through one complete cycle 1f where f is the wave frequency.
